If you’re an authority on famous dogs, First Ladies and TV theme songs, today’s your lucky day. Alert your co-workers: you might need to take a longer lunch. (If necessary, we can provide a note.)
From Brian McCarthy: When I was a small boy, I was told there are two types of people: Dog People and Cat People. In honor of the former we’ve created this little quiz to see how much you know about this four-legged furry animal. Take our historical dog quiz.
From Stacy Conradt: You’re heard the saying, “Behind every great man is a great woman”? Presidents of the United States are no exception to that rule. But while you know what George Washington and Abraham Lincoln look like, can you pick their wives out of a crowd? Take our First Lady quiz.
From Jason English: You’ve been humming these tunes for decades, but do you really know the words? Match the following theme-song lyrics to the appropriate sitcom – and then try getting the tunes out of your head. Take our TV theme song quiz.

Mrs. Taylor is sure one unhappy looking lady.

Wow - that just kept getting worse! 75% on the dogs (BTW, I thought the Basenji couldn’t bark!), 67% on First Ladies, and 30% on the TV themes. I think I had such a hard time with the TV one because the pictures of the title screens always set me to humming the theme, then trying to match it up with the lyrics… sensory overload. I’m lucky I got Batman.

100% on the TV theme songs and I was just guessing on some of them….wow.

Awesome — the only TV theme song I knew what Batman. (Thanks for the gimmee). I’m a little young for a lot of those shows.

I cracked up when I read the Batman theme. That was just what I needed right then, thanks!
